Shelter Bay speed limit

The Safety Committee has recommended a 20 mile per hour speed limit on all community streets except for Shelter Bay Drive. I feel this is an unnecessary change that will incur added community expenses for purchase and installation of new speed limit signs throughout Shelter Bay, as well as unreasonable decreased speed limits on many of our streets.

Admittedly, there are occasional speed violators in our community, but they are rare, and, quite honestly, they will speed regardless of the signage. In my seven years living in Shelter Bay, I have yet to hear of an accident, hit pedestrian, or even a hit dog, due to a speeding vehicle. I urge you to vote no on this speed limit recommendation. A 25 mph speed limit has served Shelter Bay just fine for 50 years. A change now would merely be an over-reaction to a few disgruntled community members.
